How are low-cost sensors and compute changing our world? Listen to Dysonics which came up with a way to make headphones better. Keep the band in one place, for instance. The effect is stunning, I wish you all could hear what it sounds like. Take a look...

I love Prismatic. Why? Because I trained it to bring me tech news and that's exactly what it brings. Very filtered, fast, and awesome news. But Prismatic is just getting started so I sat down with two co-founders, Bradford Cross, CEO, Aria Haghighi, CTO,...

Phil Fernandez, CEO, of Marketo (marketing automation company) yesterday announced the company was going to IPO to raise money to take it to the next level. But this interview isn't about that. It's about where marketing is going in the future. We talk...

This is Sahas Katta who wrote an app to control his dad's Tesla S via Google Glass. I hear Vic Gundotra (Google VP who runs Google+) already loves this app. Me? I love that he has to borrow his dad's car to debug the app (he usually drives an old Acura)....

Here I get a look at the latest personal assistant, Sherpa, which is an app for Android. Take a look at it, from the founder's eye and comparison to Siri. I've been using it for a while now and it is, indeed, better than Siri for a whole range of tasks....

Business Insider wrote they were blown away by this startup. http://www.businessinsider.com/were-blown-away-this-startup-could-literally-change-the-entire-software-industry-2012-3 I can't disagree. This startup, Numecent, has some pretty mind-blowing...

John Gotts, CEO of http://connectgop.com, has something interesting cooking with a social media system that hooks together Republicans. Generally I don't get involved with politics, especially Republican ones, but I've been tracking Gotts for years (the...

The real privacy problems with Google's Glass. Great interview of me by Bryan Kramer. We cover a LOT of "Age of Context" ground (I'm working on a book with Shel Israel of that title), but this gets me to cover a bit that most other privacy advocates haven't...

Chamath Palihapitiya impressed me last year with his straight-forward no bull approach. Plus he's invested in companies like box.net and AirBnB so he has a good eye for great entrepreneurs. But lately I've heard that his VC Fund, https://angel.co/the-social-capital-partnership,...

I still remember the first day I met Aaron Levie, CEO of Box.net. I thought "this guy is gonna get fired fast." Why? He was a goofball. Still is. Last year I interviewed him in front of UC Berkeley Cal business students (another school that wouldn't let...

I am at an offsite in Jackson Hole. What do we do? Yossi Vardi and John Maeda (head of RISD, famous design school) and I are showing each other fun stuff, like this lipdub that Grand Rapids did to promote the town. What's funny is neither is on Facebook....

http://www.objectrocket.com/ What does Object Rocket do? It makes a version of the MongoDB database that's very fast. It's a database-as-a-service (DBaaS). The only solution that is by default highly available, automatically sharded and unbelievably fast....

You've heard that Facebook switched from HTML 5 to "native" apps on iOS and Android recently to "speed them up." That pissed off the developers from Sencha http://www.sencha.com/ So they built a Facebook app completely in HTML 5 that's even faster than...
